Comfortable and relatively hard wearing

PostedMarch 22, 2011

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, Comfortable, Looks great

I have used Bontrager Gel Cork Tape for a number of years, and find it both comfortable in use and relatively hard wearing, although being a consumable it does eventually wear thin around the shoulders of the bars.

In the wet it is non-slip , not that I particularly like riding in the rain!!

Comfy tape

Posted July 9, 2011

Good comfy tape, just the right thickness for me. Goes on easily because it's stretchy, looks good (for a while!). Only big problem is the finishing tape - not good at all, it's just not adhesive. The adhesive on the back of the little strips that go round the hoods isn't strong enough to hold them either, though the tape itself holds them. I had 30cm left over on a 44cm compact bar, and no gaps..

Very Good

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable, Lightweight, Looks great

This was the first time I'd ever bought new bar tape and I was incredibly pleased. It was easy to put on (I just watched a few YouTube videos on how to do it), the accessories it came with were excellent, I didn't use the short lengths of tape, but the bar ends and finishing tape were great. I'd recommend it to anyone.

High quality tape, very comfortable, good grip.Nice bright colours but wish they would include a colour chart. I wanted the dark purple so ordered 'plum' but this turned out to be a shocking pink so I had to return and ordered a blue instead.

Pros: Good value, Comfortable

I went for the catalyst orange which looks great. The tape itself was really easy to apply, not too sticky so it was easy to adjust when I didn't get it quite right the first time. The amount of cushioning it provides is good my hands still feeling comfortable after a 3+hour ride.

Pros: Good value

I was pleasantly surprised by this tape, I have never re-taped handle bars before and was expecting it to be a write pain, however after reading the reviews I decided to go for this tape and well, it was better than expected, took my time and first attempt managed both sides. :-)

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable

I found this to be of a good quality - just the right balance of thickness verses ease of application. The tape doesn't have an adhesive backing. I found this easier to fit (can have another go) but still secure. Included bar end plugs were fine a good fit and also reflective.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable, Lightweight, Looks great

Having not used a road bike for years decided to build up one from scratch and finally narrowed my choice of bar tape down to the Bontrager Gel Cork Tape, very easy to fit and does a great job of damping the road vibrations.

PostedJune 14, 2014

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable, Lightweight, Looks great

Cons: fixing tape for ends of bartape does not fit well

This bartape is the best I have had, fits very easily and is very good at removing shocks to the hands on most bumpy road conditions. This was used on my profile aerobars on a track specialized langster frame (which really feels the bumps without it). Only con is I recommend electrical tape to finish it off it hold much better and will not undo. Awesome product and highly recommend also you wont find a supplier with a better service so get it here!

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable, Lightweight, Looks great

This was my first time use Bontrager Gel Cork tape, previously I had always used Prologo Double Touch and thought it was excellent, that was until I tried this, its simply brilliant, very very stretchy and strong and even when stretched it provides excellent cushioning effect. Its very grippy and absorbs all road buzz. There is more than enough in the box for both sides of the bar. After doing the first side I had loads left over so unwound it again and wrapped it with a closer overlap so that it fitted to the end without having to cut any off. I love it so much that I've bought another box of it for my summer bike and will remove the brand new prologo tape I fitted only a few weeks ago and fit Bontrager on it instead, It really is that good! The only con, is that the finishing tape isnt great and I just used electrical tape to finish it off but Ive done that with all other tapes too and its only a very very minor gripe.
